- "This...
- "This kind of paper is very expensive.
It is strangely strong and stiff."
"You are right,"said Holmes.
"It is not an English paper.
Hold it up to the light."
I did so, and noticed a large "E" with a small "g,"a""P," and a large"G" with a small "t" woven into the texture of the paper.
"It`s probably the monogram of the maker,"I said.
-
- 17.08.04
-
- "You`...
- "You`re wrong.
The 'G'with small't' stands for 'Gesellschaft.'
It means 'Company'in German.
Of course 'P' stands for 'Papier,' meaning "paper."
Now for 'Eg.'
Let us take a look at our Continental Gazetteer."
He took down a heavy brown book from his shelves.

-
- "Eglo...
- "Eglow, Eglonitz...
Here we are, Egria.
It is in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad.
'Famous for being the scene for the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass=factories and paper-mills.'"
His eyes sparked as he blew a thick cloud of smoke from his cigarette.
"So the paper was made in Bohemia?" I asked.
"Correct.
-
- 17.08.09
-
- And the ma...
- And the man who wrote the letter is German.
So there only remains one question.
What does this German, who writes on Bohemian paper and wears a mask to hide his face, want from me?
And here he comes."
As he spoke, there was a sharp sound of horses` hooves and wheels gratin against the edge of pavement.
The bell rand and Holmes whistled when he got up.
"Sounds like there are two o them,"he said.

-
- "Yes,...
- "Yes, a nice coach and tow beautiful horses," he continued, glancing out of the window.
"They must cost at least one hundred and fifty guineas apiece.
I think i`ll be making some money in this case, Watson."
There was a loud tap on the apartment door.
"Come in!" said Holmes.
A big man with the chest and limbs of Hercules walked in.
His clothes were made from the expensive, in fact, that in England he would be looked upon as having bad taste.
-

-
- The man ca...
- The man carried a hat in his hand.
He wore a black mask across the upper part of his face.
The mask extended down past the cheekbones.
From the lower parts of his face, one could see that he was a man of strong character.
He had a thick, hanging lip and long, straight chin.
His facial features and expression suggested strong personality, even stubbornness.
"Did you receive my letter?" he asked in a deep, harsh voice.

- He had a strongly marked German accent.
"I told you that I would come by."
He looked at me and then at Holmes as if he were uncertain which to address.
"Please take a seat,"said Holmes.
"This is my friend and colleague, Dr.Watson.
He is sometimes smart enough to help me in my cases.
And how should we address you?"
-
- 17.08.18
-
- "You ...
- "You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman.
This gentleman, your friend, is a man of honor?
Can I trust him with a matter of the most extreme importance?
If not, I should much prefer to talk to you alone."
I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the arm and pushed me back into my chair.
"You hire either both of us, or none," he said.
"You can trust this gentleman with anything witch you may say to me."
-
- 17.08.21
-
- The Count ...
- The Count shrugged his broad shoulders.
"Then, I`ll begin,"he said.
"But first, you must both promise to keep what I tell you secret for tow years.
After tow years, the matter will be of no importance.
But right now, what I am about to tell you may change the course of European history."
"I promise," said Holmes and I ant the same time.
"Please excuse this mask,"continued the Count.
-
- 17.08.23
-
- "The ...
- "The person who employs me wishes me to be unknown to you.
Also, the title by witch I have just called myself is not exactly my own."
"I already knew,"said Holmes dryly.
"We are dealing with something very sensitive.
Every care has to be taken to get rid of what might grow into a big scandal that can seriously hurt one of the royal families of Europe.
The matter is regarding the great House of Ormstein, the kings of Bohemia."
"I knew that too,"murmured Holmes.

- He fell back into his armchair and closed his eyes.
Our visitor looked at Holmes with surprise.
Holmes had no doubt been described to him as the most incisive and energetic private detective in Europe.
Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his new client.
"If your Majesty were to reveal himself,and be honest with me, I would be in a better position to help you," he said.
The man sprang from his chair and walked up and down the room
